Six State OH Surveillance Programs Supporting the Campaign to Prevent Falls in Construction

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) supports state health departments and universities to develop and maintain ongoing occupational health surveillance programs and activities. They then share this information and promote public access to occupational health outputs produced by the states through a State-based Occupational Health Surveillance Clearinghouse. Through this process, NIOSH has received some great information on the 2015 stand-down activities of several different states. Activities ranged from hosting speakers and conducting fall prevention training to widespread email outreach and new resource creation.
